Professor Betty Duke and Professor Grimm have organized an exciting evening panel of stellar public and nonprofit leaders for this Thursday, March 10th at 7pm.
The panel is in conjunction with our graduate courses in public and nonprofit management and leadership and I have even convinced Prof. Duke to serve on the panel given her impressive leadership career. The panel includes the current Secretary of Labor, Licensing and Regulation for the State of Maryland who is also the former Senior Vice President at United Way of America; the current President of the Regional Association of Washington Grantmakers (100 largest foundations and philanthropists in our region) who is also the former President of a national nonprofit Voice’s for America’s Children and a former Virginia state government official; the former Secretary of Health and Mental Hygiene for the State of Maryland and former Assistant Secretary at the federal Departments of Health and Human Services and Veterans Affairs; and the former Administrator of the Health Resources and Services Administration, an eight billion dollar federal agency that worked extensively with nonprofits through its grantmaking.
Public and nonprofit leaders need to be very adept at managing cross-sector collaborations with various levels of government and with nonprofits to achieve any real impact but the relationship between governments as well as government and nonprofits is fraught with challenges on both sides. Our panelists representing the public and nonprofit sectors as well as federal, state and local experiences will discuss challenges they have faced, lessons they have learned, and how these experiences shape their approach to leadership.
The panel will be in Executive Dining Room (directly above Rudy’s Café) in Van Munching Hall from 7:00-9:00pm and will include time for you to network with the panelists.
Food and drink will be provided, so come a little early if you can!
